The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one  36  . That’s one of the unwritten rules  37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to  38  behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep  39  distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a  40  suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your  41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your  42  down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and  43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her  44  every day. We waited for the next  45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little  46  . For many of us, this was the  47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like  48  to people beside us, we couldn’t help  49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being  50  . To say the three words was not so  51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t  52  to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a  53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I  54  my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then  55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.

Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’s standing on, the heritage he’s been given. That’s what happened    36   a young man, the son of a(n)   37   baseball player, was chosen by one of the minor league teams. Hard as he tried, his first season was    38   , and by midseason he expected to be removed    39  day. The coaches were     40   by his failure because he possessed all the characteristics of a superb(杰出的)athlete, but he seemed to have become    41   from his potential.
His    42   seemed darkest one day when he had already struck out his first time at bat. Then he stepped up to the batter’s box again and quickly ran up two strikes.

Then play    45  , the next pitch was thrown and the young man knocked it out of the park. That was the turning    46  . From then on, he played the game with a new confidence and power that quickly    47   the attention of the parent team, and he was called   48   to the majors.

“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood    52   my dad in the batter’s box,” the boy explained. “He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it.    53  he told me, ‘I can see his genes in you; you have your father’s    54   .’ After that, whenever I swung the bat, I just    55   I was using Dad’s arms instead of my own.”
